Hello my lovelies... Have you had a lovely weekend?? The weather in Dubai has been a bit weird, which just means... we've generally been sick, feeling low and weird... I had a strange kind of week... one that simply didn't seem to move. Like no matter what I did, I felt as though I didn't accomplish much.
A simple ‘life’…
Gratitude is
one of the sweet shortcuts
to finding
peace of mind and happiness inside.
No matter
what is going on outside of us,
there's
always something we could be grateful for.
- Barry Neil

This is
truly the motto of my life… I believe.. in counting my blessing… and when I do!!
… the problems look so worthless…
Now... since this is meant to be a decor blog, a few 'must haves' for me..
1. De-clutter your space… Give away what you don’t need… I’m sure you know someone else who can use it.
2.
This just
means, that a clean and clear space is the most important
3.
Use colours
lavishly… trust me… colours can change your mood instantly…
4.
Add a few
lights and lamps in the corners… And watch the romance grow…
5.
Oh... throw
a cushion on the rug… and a shawl on the sofa… that’s instant comfort…
6.
Don’t spend
too much money on furniture or furnishings… It doesn't have to be expensive to
look good…
7.
Show off
your craft and your kids craft… Keep it on a tray on the coffee table or dining
table… or simply hang it on the wall..
8.
Make your
home a reflection of yourself… Don’t do things for others to see… or coz
someone else said it looked good… Believe in what you think or feel looks good…
9.
And if
nothing works… brew a hot cup of tea… and invite me… *smiles*..
- Do a post on your blog: about ANYTHING! and it can really be anything – example – a fun recipe you tried out, a craft project, a DIY, a table top, a few candles, coffee with friends or a good book or a movie review… The list is endless… just about ANYTHING… and anything about YOU !! *smiles* ... It can also be 'anything pretty' ...

Lovely thoughts and 'must haves' for anyone to improve their decor. For now, I long for that outdoor space just like yours with my favourite brew and a favourite book ;)
